Amazing Chichen Itza Trip
It is ALL day from 6:30 am until 9-10 pm. Much longer than it needed to be. We made 1-2 extra stops that were not really necessary. Also, I don't think our Bus driver always took the fastest route.

It is very...
It is very commercialized. I was looking for a strictly cultural tour and there was too much emphasis on purchasing items.
Operator response
Hello Janet, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We truly appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations regarding the cultural focus you were hoping for. While we aim to offer a balance between cultural exploration and supporting local artisans, we understand that for some travelers, a more purely historical and educational experience is preferred. Your comments are very valuable, and we will absolutely take them into account as we continue working to refine and improve our tours. Thank you once again for choosing to travel with us. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future for a tour that better matches your interests. Warm regards,

Very Knowledgeable guides made this...
<p>Very Knowledgeable guides made this a memorable trip. The listed agenda was different than what was actually followed. The morning pickup was @7, but it was 8:30 before we left Cancun Hotel area as small pick-up buses converged to a large travel bus. Then instead of going to Chichen Itza first, we did not arrive until after lunch. Before lunch we went to Colonial Town and a craft town run by Mayan descendants. The delays in leaving and rescheduling meant we did not return until 8:30pm. But as I stated in the opening, this is an experience worth the price paid. Be ready for a long day.</p>

<p>This tour was great! I wish there was more emphasis on just how hot it was going to be!!! Our guide and driver were both excellent! Definitely bring an umbrella for the sun. I was disappointed to find out others on the same tour only paid half of what we paid.......</p>
